Hanami........in the 21st century....

Posted by Japanalia (Yokohama, Japan) on 5 April 2008 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

.....in one of the most beautiful gardens in Tokyo, Shinjuku Gyoen, the former Imperial Gardens! The collection of trees in this garden is awesome and one can consider the location as a Gallery of Trees, gorgeous both in spring and in autumn. Crowded....both in spring and in autumn!!!! But always worth visiting!

What a beautiful park the Imperial Garden is. I can imagine many people visit it over the weekend.

Bonjour Gabriela,

Recevez ici la caresse de mes mots pour cette magnifique photo :

Ici, le printemps est plaisir,
l’automne est bonheur,
l’hiver, un doux charmeur,
et l’été, un véritable paradis.

Ici, la nature est présent,
la vie est aurore,
le temps, un profond silence,
et l’instant, une mer d’éternité.

Bien à vous, et agréable week-end, amicalement, Mary.

So much interesting detail... I'm about to start a sequence of a few shots I took in Shinjuku Park back in February, interesting to see the contrast between then and now...

Ah, yes, a garden planted with well-selected trees has year-round interest. This really does look attractive.

I like how you put the two images up (past and present). It seems to be fun no matter when it is. I like the range of complementary colors throughout.
